NEWS SUMMARY,

Rights Bill over the President's Veto.
There is little doubt but the House will
do the same.
V The President has issued a circular

The Civil Rights bill passed the I
House on the 9th iust, over the Prcsi.
dout's veto, by a vote of 122 to 41,
after the result was announced the Rad

in cheering over their defeat of Presi
dent Johnson.

ed a bill to reimburse the State of Peon.
ylvania for war expenses.
The steamer England arrived at Hal

transferring the city government from
Henublican to Democratic officers
throughout.

ltinderpest, is on tho decrease in England.
THE TWO PLATFORMS
In our previous issuei we have pre
sented our readers with the resolutions
adopted by the Democratic State Con
vention, and those adopted by the Re
publican State Convention. These res
olutions are to be taken as authoritative
declarations of the two parties as to
their respective positions upon the po.
litical issues of the day. We have ex
amined the respective merits of these
two platforms, and have come to our
conclusion.
We are earnestly in favor of a com
plete and early restoration ok' the Uoiou
that shall dispel the pomp aud pauoply
of war, with its martial law, its military
riMirts. and suspension ot that great bul-
waik of individual liberty, the writ of
habeas corpus; that shall reknit in
bonds of amity aud peace the two sec.
tiona of our country.
Ttnlievinsr the paramount issue of the
iIav to be upon the mode and time of
onsummatinz complete restoration, and
having iu previous numbers, taken our
HtanU upou mis issue in sujipun ui
Tvlicv and principles of Pi
ident Johnson as we understand them
to be enunciated in his Message vetoing
the Freedman's Bureau Bill, as against
iho obstruction policy of Congress, it
va onlv necessary for us to further in
quire which of these two platforms take
toe same position
In our examination of them we were
struck by tho contrast of style, the
Democratic betas: short, concise and to
the point, consisting of but eight resolu.
tions, making but about a quarter of a
column of our paper in coaise typo ;
while the Republican stretches out to
eighteen resolutions in nuiuDer, ana
onnunvinrr a column and a halt in
fine type. The Republican reso
lutions are in the spread eagle style
starting off " w:th thirty guns at day
break," and indulging in what might
be elociueot s'i tho exordiums or perora
tions of stump speeches, but in these
resolutions are mere buncombe, which
has but little other effect than to beto;
tha real point. Tin first resolution of
sixteen lines consists of twelve lines of
buncombe by wav of preamble and four
lines of resolution. The resolution prun.
ed of its superfluity is that they " h-re
renew the pledget of unaltenng aevuon
to the Federal Union, and repeat their
determined purpose thit it thill be pre
Bcrted." This resolution sounds Jack,
aonian, at well a Johnsonian. (Vide
the President's speech of February 22d,
1866.) The purpose declared we com
tuend and endorse heartily.
Their second resolution we also en
dorse. H'o certainly desire that our io.
atitutions shall be strenthened aid our
national life prolonged. We think also
that aome amendments to the Constitu
tion would be proper; one. deo aring
in express terms what has already been
decided by arms and was tho issue in
the war, that no State has the right to
secede; another, basing representation
oo voters and taxation on property as
gizts thr course of President Johusou
during the war, impliedly refusing to
endorse him now. But this is not left
ta implication. In the 5th lcsolutioti
they expressly endorse Congress as
agniust the President's policy, express,
ly declaring that Congress have the
right to impobe upon the Southern
States what terms they please as condi.
tious precedent to their restoration ;
and declaring that to deny this is to
" deny and imperil one of the dearest
rights." Tho President docs deny this,
and nets in direct contradiction of it,
therefore, according to this resolution,
he is a usurper and is imperiling " one
of the dearest rights." The 1 7 th reso
lution is nlso significant. It declares
that tho lion. Edgar Cowan hns"fi.
annotated the hones an. I h'is forfeited
the cenfidence of those to whom lie owes
his place ; and that he is hereby most
earnest?! requested to resign." The
head and froutof Mr. Cowan's offeuding,
is in his uniform and persistent adhcr
ence to the very principles proclaimed
bv President Johnson as fundamental
and essential the welfare and per
petuity of tho Union. The animus of
those resolutions canuot be mistaken.
Thru arc hostile to Pres. Johnson and hi
policy. Mr Cowan and Mr. Johnson were
both elected bv the Republicans. To
dav. thev stand Mioulder to shoulder in
the contest for Constitutional principles
against tho despotic 'tendencies of the
Radical leaders. If the Republican Ira.
dert tn the convention had dared defy
tho influence and polrnnage of the A
ministration, they would, have dealt
direct blow at Mr. Johnson himself in.
stead of expending their spite vpon one
of hit supporters. V e cannot support
this platform because we are at variance
with it on a question so vital and minor
tant in our estimation, as to siuk all other
issues into insignificauce.
We turn to the Democratic Platform
Mark the bold and manly tone in which
it sustains the President. 1 he uth res
lution declares that " the bold enuncia
tion of the principles of the Constitution
and the volieii of restoration contains,
in the recent annual message and f reed.
man,s Bureau 1 eto Mcssaae ot I resi
dent Johnson entitle him to the confidence
and support of all who respect the Con
ttitution and love their country." An
in the 1st resolution they proclaim what
we consider the true doctrine, to wit :
that the Southern States are in the Un
ion and entitled to representation by
proper men. In other words that Con
gross has the right to decide upon the
qualifications of its own members, and
under this right to inquire into
the validity of the election of a member
and as to his personal qualifications,
but their jurisdiction is confined to the
individual case ; that under no circum.
stances has Congress the right to declare
at certain States shall be unrepresent
ed, and thus by their simple resolution,
disfranchise them; that in tbe present
case they are bound to admit the South
ern o rppre.-''''" wl.mcici
they present proper persons properly el
ected.
Such being the respective attitudes
of the two great parties as organized for
the eoming contest in Pennsylvania, and
believing it of the highest importance
in the present crisis ot our national af
fairs that the President should bo sus
tained in his restoration policy, we en-
er the list to battle from this time
torth in support of the Democratic
candidate, Hon. IIiester Clymeu
ENDURING PEACE.
From the Round Table.
The wires which, precisely ono year
a"0. thrilled across the sontinent the ex
citing news of the prolonged death-strug'
glo of the rebellion, now tnroo witn tne
no kss joyous official tidings of the per.
feet restoration ot peace, union, ana liar
nronv. On the 2nd day ot April, lobo
tho much-enduring army which had so
often heroically surged up in vain against
the gory intrenchnients ot I'ctersburg
burst, in a mighty tide, over all barriers,
and, before the dawn oi tne da, reters-
burg and Richmond were ours. v itn
happy anniversary celebration the Pres-
ident chose the so. or April, nuu, iu
followed army in surrender, state after
state wheeled into the Union line, aud,
as if by tuaL'ic, tho frowning structure
t thcCoiiIedoracy, lourycars erect, grim,
and delimit, tumbled irom turret to cor.
ncr-stune, and " left not a rack behind."
No guerrilla shot vexed the air. No fierce
patriot refused to lay down his arms.
No Btato struggled with stato pnuc
gainst the surrender of what it had hop
ed to call " state sovereignty." But qui.
ctly accepting the decision of the sword,
and reading in events the voice of God,
the South laid as'u'c, with its arms, its
doctrines, iis aims, and its cause, at once
and for evor.
The pop'i'ur sentiment of the North
was no less nmrvelously revolutionized.
Tho cry of ' subjugation !" that por
tentous vie victis which contained un
numbered horrors in its scanty syllables
ceased before the smoke rolled away
from the last battlefield of tho rebellion.
Wade Hampton told the South Caro.
linians that, "as conquerors, the United
States had the light to impose what
terms it chose." Wc chose to conquer the
South again by magnanimity. No such
national generosity is recorded in tne
history of any nation or any age its that
which has crowned our bloody war.
Other nations celebrate tho repressing
of rebellion by turning upon the con
quered fire and sword, the rack, the bul.
let, and the gibbet; broad countries arj
lain, desolate, homes and fields burned,
property confiscated, and heads fall un
der tho axe as grain bows before the
mower. We had no corps of hangmen
stalking in the trail of our victorious
legions. Wo had no Sepoy atrocities,
Jamaica massacres, or Arab tortures.
Other arts than blowing rebels from the
cannon's mouth, smoking them to death
in caves, or hanging them without trial
arc ours. Wc began by throwing the
regis uf national protection over every
armed insurgent. We emptied our jails
of state criminals. We restored the
southern people their rights as fast as
they could take them. Before they could
ask, we gave them more than they had
tashioued their lips to beg. No odious
conditions were exacted. Our army,
eleven hundred thousand strong and
flushed with triumph, noiselessly melted
away to a haudful, and the presence of
that handful was hardly known in the
silent garrisons and seutry beats of the
southern coast. In one brief year eleven
states resumed their placo in the sister
hood of states, and the Union became
whole and harmonious " Peace is its-1
elf a conquest."
Exactly on this twelvemonth s extra
ordinary woik rest all our hopes of en.
during peace in the future. Had we
given to the South such a cessation of
hostilities, misnamed peace, us France
gives to Algiers, Austria to Hungary,
or Kussia to I'oland, the tuture wouiu
still be dark. Smouldering hate would
wait only the occasiou to become fanned
to fury and break out in fresh rebellion.

have a triple cord of honor, gratitude,
aud uiterest to bind tne 3titn to us.
The transatlantic world, which persist
cntly refused to stand by the Union in
ou' war, overcome by our American
method of making peace, would pause bo.
fore lending sympathy to new insurrcc.
tion. Slavery is dead. Secession is dead.
It was those two elements, inherently
hostile to tho American system, which
arrayed our people against each other.
No man in our generation longer be
lieves in the practicability of either sla.
very or secession ; no man in the gener
ation to come will believe in them even
were they practicable. Eliminate these
two evils horn the nation, and what
source of discord can ever again dinde
to say, I think tho latter, to make it in
object of the first importance for thoso
owning lands near the edge of tho basin
to investigate it. It cannot be drained
except in chance places in tho interior
of the basin, but a vast body may be
round the outer edge where streams cut
through euflicicntly deep for that pur
pose. The first I knew of these beds, Jacob
MeOauley, in boring for oil ; on Toby
Creek passed through them : one, I
PRO0tA!IATIO?f of PEACE.
thiuk he said was one foot thick ; the
other five feet. I ofterwards discovered
a bed of coal on land of Michael Hock,
which was one of them. Its thickness
is said to be three feet, or more. Last
winter, Peter Conner opened the same
bed near the Daguseahouda Rail Road,
and within a few rods of the edge of
the coal measures, and it was found to
be four feet thick. It has also been
opened at J. B. Carrior's ou ono of the
heads of Brandy Camp, three feet
thick, and 1 have seen one of them
opened on Sawmill Run, near James
Rogers' place, about one foot thick.
The beforemeutioued coal appears to be
of the best quality.
These beds, or one at least (say tho
largest) was noticed by me years ago,
but having almost tho identical kiud of
shale overlying it that overlies the next
coal above, and having no particular in
terest in examining, I had always sup
posed it to be tho latter. I have an idea
that the large bed Jan bo found on n
piece of my land on Little Toby, and I
think ot testing it next summer. But
adieu for the present.
In my next lettet I will treat of those
beds I more certaiuly know of.
